Delve End is a detached house in Dormston, Worcester, Worcester (WR7 4LB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 93 m² it's 19.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 51.7% above the 2009 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£315/sq ft) was about 15% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
Delve End sits at the bottom of the postcode for energy efficiency — meaningful headroom to improve.
